So they’re taking a shitty tech trend away from the few people who found it useful in order to push the new shitty tech trend.

As always (Orkut, Google+, etc.)

Other than Gmail, I don’t trust Google to keep maintaining any service.

I will never forgive Fitbit. I had one of their watches some years back that shit the bed about 1 week after the warranty was up. Their customer service suggested I just buy a new watch.

And that I did but it certainly wasn’t a Fitbit.

They’re shutting down Assistant everywhere, in favour of Gemini.

Never depend on anything Google.

They could have replaced the Google Assistant with their new Gemini thing on these waches (since I think they basically just relay voice to and from the phone). But, being Google, they prefer just to remove features people already paid for.
